In a recent interview, DJ Khaled made a bold claim about his pivotal role in the career of rap superstar 21 Savage. The acclaimed producer and music mogul revealed that he was instrumental in bringing 21 Savage into the rap scene, predicting the artist’s future success.

“Just work with me for three more years, and 21 Savage will become a top rapper,” Khaled reportedly told his associates when he first started working with the then-unknown artist. True to his word, 21 Savage has indeed risen to the top ranks of the rap industry, garnering critical acclaim and a massive fan base.

Khaled, known for his keen eye for talent and his collaborative approach to music, reminisced about his early days with 21 Savage. “I saw something special in him from the very beginning,” Khaled said. “He had a unique voice, a compelling story, and an undeniable presence. I knew he had what it takes to make it big.”

21 Savage, born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, first gained widespread attention with his 2016 mixtape “Savage Mode,” produced in collaboration with Metro Boomin. Since then, he has released multiple chart-topping albums, including “Issa Album” and “I Am > I Was,” and has become known for his distinctive style and introspective lyrics.

DJ Khaled’s endorsement and support were crucial during 21 Savage’s early career. “Khaled gave me a platform and believed in me when a lot of people didn’t,” 21 Savage shared in a recent statement. “He pushed me to work harder and stay focused. I owe a lot of my success to his guidance and encouragement.”

The partnership between the two artists has proven to be a fruitful one, with DJ Khaled featuring 21 Savage on several tracks and bringing him into the fold of his star-studded collaborations. Their synergy has produced hit songs that have resonated with fans worldwide.
